Police investigate antisemitic graffiti in Long Island playground

Police are investigating antisemitic graffiti found in a Long Island playground, under the direct orders of New York’s Governor, Andrew Cuomo.

Antisemitic language and symbols were found on 4th April in Setauket Elementary School in East Setauket, reportedly carved into the playground’s slides. The graffiti has since been removed.

Gov. Cuomo ordered the Suffolk County Police Hate Crimes Unit to investigate and stated: “I am appalled at media reports on the discovery of antisemitic graffiti on Setauket Elementary School’s playground equipment on Long Island.

“This hateful graffiti is diametrically opposed to the values of tolerance and understanding that are pillars of the society we’ve built in New York State, and the fact that it was found in a place of learning for young children makes it even more disturbing.”
